However, as the platform shifted the IPL streaming service to a paid format, it grappled to surpass this benchmark in the subsequent years, underscoring the complexities in balancing reach and revenue within the streaming sector.<\/p>\n Drawing a page from Hotstar\u2019s earlier strategy, Viacom18 is seemingly steering its trajectory along a similar path. The Indian entertainment giant, whose largest investor is Ambani\u2019s Reliance, in a strategic shift last year emerged victorious in a $3 billion bidding war against Disney<\/a>, securing the digital rights for the immensely popular IPL for a five-year period until 2027.<\/p>\n As part of its streaming strategy, Viacom18\u2019s JioCinema app is offering free streaming of the tournament<\/a> to audiences across South Asia, a move that could potentially reshape the region\u2019s digital streaming landscape, analysts say.<\/p>\n JioCinema, which also offers free access to its basic content to Jio telecom network subscribers, recently rolled out a premium tier. As of last month, users can opt for an annual premium plan, unlocking access to a broader range of content for the modest price of 999 Indian rupees ($12).<\/p>\n Viacom18 has clinched deals<\/a> with international entertainment powerhouses Warner Bros.<\/a> and NBCUniversal in recent weeks to make its premium offering a more\u00a0compelling proposition for potential subscribers.<\/p>\n Despite the challenges, Disney is still managing to find significant success. The international giant, which is broadcasting the game via satellite television in India, garnered a tally of 482 million cumulative views throughout the initial 66 matches, according to data from the industry organization, Broadcast Audience Research Council.<\/p>\n An earlier version of this story said JioCinema\u2019s concurrent views peaked at 33 million, citing officials. TechCrunch understands that though the final figure is over 32 million, it\u2019s not exactly 33 million.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
